SAFETY ALERT!!! PLEASE SHARE WITH NEIGHBORSResidents of Chicago's Uptown neighborhood should be on guard after reports of three separate muggings that occurred

According to neighborhood blog CWBChicago.com, the first robbery happened around 7:30 p.m. near West Buena and North Clarendon avenues. The victim said four males attacked him and ran east, toward Marine Drive.

Right after that, another man was reportedly beaten up and robbed in the 700-block of West Bittersweet Place.

Minutes later, the group reportedly beat a 50-year-old man to the ground, but he was not robbed. The attackers ran north on Clarendon. The victim was treated at a hospital.

The blog said there is surveillance video of one of the violent attacks. The robbers appear to be between 15-18 years old.

It is certainly not civilized. Please feel free to keep bumping this alert. There are less than civilized people who think it is less important than something they think happened, this certainly happened and needs to be known.
